If you're just jumping in, we're talking about low back pain and how to relieve it. In my first blog last week, I mentioned that the old acronym for musculoskeletal injuries management was RICE: (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation). At the present moment the science suggests a new acronym: PEACE and LOVE (Protection,…
It’s surprising how many clients have expressed guilt for coming to therapy because they shouldn’t need it. Their childhood wasn’t that bad or traumatic. Researchers now understand that Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) are early life experiences which fall into two categories. Any experience which causes you to feel like your…
I have a very personal connection to the world of Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA). Like up-close and personal. And when I think back to my time living in that world of hurt and fear, I wish that I had known then what I know now. My goal with this blog…
